I decided to really experience Christmasand not be hidden behind a camera taking picturesbut truly living in the moment.So, you will have to take my wordwithout the photos to prove thatit was wonderful holiday.

I can tell you that there was family, moving prayers, splendid food, hugs, presents being torn open, laughter,glitter, chocolate, and a few Christmas meltdowns.

Even the meltdowns felt magical.

Here is the wrapping paper carnageleft in my living room.Doesn't it look like a toy bomb exploded?

It was an amazing Christmas!

Playing with my family.My older brother and his familyare in town from Colorado for the holidaysand my mom and dad's home has beenbustling with fun and excitement!

I just love the true joy to be foundwhen cousins get together.Little games and activities pop upand it's so sweet to see the kidshaving such a blast together.

Little feet scamper and stomp.Squeals of happiness echo into the neighborhood.

A simple playfulness takes over our bodiesand it's because we are just so happyto be together.

A family full of such loveis a gift.

I treasure every wild and crazy moment.

We had a little gatheringat the local skating rinkto celebrate my big boy'sapproaching b-day.

The DJ played Golden Oldiesand as Crocodile Rockthumped and the disco lights spun,the kids had a blast!

Watching children roller skatecan be so entertaining.They drop like fliesonto the hard wood floorand then get right back uponly to fall once again.

We had homemade Ben 10 cupcakesthat were a huge hit with the kiddos.It was so fun to whip up treatsfor the celebration.

Every year, as Griffin's face shinesin the glow of his birthday candlesand the sound of loved ones singingHappy Birthday in his honor fills the air,I get a little teary.

I can remember holding him in my armsmoments after he was bornand feeling so blessed.I rocked him back and forthand sang Happy Birthday to him,his little face inspecting me as I sang.

I think of that sweet momentand see how big he is now.He'll always be that little baby to me though.

Oh, check out the mountain of gifts!

I think that Birthday Partiesare one of the funnest parts of being a mama.I love to make it an awesome time.

It was so much fun to watch him enjoy his big day!
